This is the recommended web browser for 68000 based Macintosh systems with System 7.x and at least 4 MB or RAM. If you have a 68030 based Mac, such as the Macintosh SE/30 or Classic II, we recommend using the more advanced Netscape 2.x or 3.x web browser to access more sites and resources.
Easiest way to add Internet access (and/or a Hard Drive) to a Macintosh right now seems to be by getting a BlueSCSI device with the Raspberry Pi Pico-W module, which adds Wi-Fi support using a DaynaPort SCSI/Link emulation and works on any Macintosh starting from Macintosh Plus. The rather excellent BlueSCSI documentation has instructions on how to add Internet support to your Mac once you have received the BlueSCSI device.
